Hi beautiful gardening souls!
Here is a short, hi-res video, spontaneously done this morning - on my wee raised bed in the street below my medieval quarter home in Italy. I claimed this space from a pile of detritis that was there when I first occupied the house, as I explain in the video.
It is exciting to see it coming back, filling up again, after my neighbour poisoned it a year ago!
Nature is amazingly resilient, and I also love how Nature supports our celebration of biodiversity and spontaneous plantings/ self-seedings...
Here I show the myriad trees, bushes, herbs and flowers that are flourishing in this tiny space; I regularly pop down into the street to harvest a wee handful of something to brighten or flavour or enliven a dish. I love using flowers or petals, rocket or parsley in large bunches, a handful of broadbeans (fave), improvised into my dinner - or roses pulled for the bath. A divine symbiosis of feeling called to go and get whichever additional dimension that my food calls for (and Nature responds with Gifts of!).
Blessing on your gardens and growing spaces!
Clare.
